  • AkutanVirus ⚓ Aqua Virus ⚓ (@AkutanVirus) reported

    Ayo any tech ppls able to help me? Got back from holiday like a week ago and my PC wouldn't display via displayport so ive been using DVI for now. However, tonight and yesterday I have had "GPU has ran out of memory" issues when playing Tower of Fantasy and Overwatch 2... [1/?]

  • matthewbest93 matthew best (@matthewbest93) reported

    Overwatch 2 is an embarrassment it has the exact same problems as 1 down to queue, they removed a tank instead of just taking brigette out and admitting triple tank was bullshit, the supports are still dogshit. All while charging $60 for mobile game style pve.

  • MagumoKawasaki Paul Mercado (@MagumoKawasaki) reported

    @Mr_InfernoX0Psx @sherwin1v2 Or games that preachy about social issues. Like miles morales with the blm. Or adding things just for the sake of being diverse and not genuine. Like what overwatch did making characters gay just for the sake of it to come off PC.

  • lloydcoombes Lloyd Coombes (@lloydcoombes) reported

    @wavey_gravey @PatrickDane Weirdly I’ve never had that issue in Siege but I know many have. Toxic communities put me off LoL and even Overwatch (particularly on PC)

  • Yasserlion Sam (Freedom and Art) (@Yasserlion) reported

    @Grummz Overwatch is a diseased game anyway. I'd fix the models if I though it served the community but I hate Blizzard and they would patch it anyway.

  • RighteousRaxxx James/Raxx (@RighteousRaxxx) reported

    @JokerDPS_OW @YouTubeGaming Obvious of why the game should have just stayed buried. Adding a new hero, changing a name of one, and adding what 2 new maps? Isn’t going to fix the issues that made overwatch 1 an awful game in the first place. Hypothetically speaking if you took a **** and put a bow on it

  • LeakyLexi Lexi⏳ (@LeakyLexi) reported

    Paladins definitely has issues but genuinely to me right now it is a way more fun game then current overwatch. It just isn’t as polished I guess is how you would say that

  • RAVENKING26 RAVENKING (@RAVENKING26) reported

    Splatoon 3 and Overwatch 2 have the same problem

  • hockeyspaz62 H🎮CKEYSPAZ62🇺🇸 (@hockeyspaz62) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent #Overwatch Just finished a QP match. Silver/Gold level I’d expect, but what in the $&@# is a TOP 500 player doing in this level? They post EZ in chat. So sick of this. Fix your matchmaking to block them from playing low levels.

  • TheMarshall318 Murshall (@TheMarshall318) reported

    I've been seeing a lot of people say "it's just a beta, they'll add/fix the final game" towards people criticizing Overwatch 2's lack of supp changes and only 1 hero releasing. All I have to say to the "it's just a beta" squad is: - Battlefield 2042 - Halo Infinite

  • ROFLTURKEYPSN ROFLTURKEY (@ROFLTURKEYPSN) reported

    @Hong_Doo_JV2 The Overwatch porn makers will fix it

  • punsandbunsgg CLG PunsAndBuns (@punsandbunsgg) reported

    @NathanEdmonds This was a massive issue in the Overwatch community with social media and graphics a few years ago. People were constantly harassing staff and basically saying "I'm better hire me wtf" while ignoring just how much goes into building a campaign's worth of assets/copy.

    a clear sign that Ana took the supplies from an old Overwatch base no longer in use. This was the place Ana had been living in for months, trying to fix her home. Her one eye continued to look over the monitor of all the data Jack had been looking over. A new sighting of the—

  • Ariel3057 Ariel Aria 💫 EN Vtuber (アリエル・アリア) (@Ariel3057) reported

    I'm itching for a fps. Any suggestions on which to stream? I'm thinking maybe Apex, Valorent, Overwatch 2 (until beta ends) or whatever. Problem is I am bad, and have no one to learn with lol.

  • pheonixangel9 PheonixAngel (@pheonixangel9) reported

    Anyone else run into the issue of the Overwatch 2 beta not being in your account?

  • Ananonanoooo Ananonano (@Ananonanoooo) reported

    @Stylosa @vgdunkey I agree Blizz slapped themselves in the face with how they tried to market the "OW2 PvP portion Closed Beta" but let's not pretend every content creator calling it OVERWATCH TWO!!! every 30 secs and in every title/thumbnail did not contribute to the issue

  • SlyCerberus Nick #bringbackslycooper 🦝 (@SlyCerberus) reported

    @medster101 They have that in arcade in overwatch 1. Role Queue is ok but matchmaking is a joke as a result. The bigger problem with the game was always the balance though.

  • imcemtex Cameron (@imcemtex) reported

    @PlayOverwatch please fix gold weapons in overwatch 2, in comparison it just looks very lackluster and almost pointless to have 🙏

  • Khoruh Khora🌹 (@Khoruh) reported

    @Kookieoce @inviqTT @tokibbi the real big issue with this, is this is the start of a rabbit hole that becomes Overwatch with slightly more difficult shooting mechanics. i think all he really needs is, 1. Longer flash duration, 2. Cancelable ult, and maybe a burn status over time from his wall and molly

  • Hawkbone12 Hawkbone (@Hawkbone12) reported

    @kilikikero @NateDawgBrony01 @DAWGTHISUMBRA I was gonna make a joke somewhere along the lines of "let's hope the next one is Overwatch 3: 3rd Strike" but then I considered that that'd mean it would be really good and I'd rather see Blizzard crash and burn to death at this point more than I want a new, good game.

  • CptWiggleFuffle Giany / ジャンニ(ゼノブレイド3!!!) (@CptWiggleFuffle) reported

    People complaining about the overwatch proportions are just suffering from the same problem touhou fans have Where all they've been looking at for the past few years is just porn of the characters to the point where they completely forget what their actual bodies look like

  • PositivLink PositiveLink (@PositivLink) reported

    @eunnieverse I know little about overwatch, but this all sounds broken as heck

  • LumaThe1andonly Luma (@LumaThe1andonly) reported

    @RoonKolos @Vulturfakes you really wanna say Paladins has higher quality than Overwatch? A character having a flat *** from an angle isn't a "problem"

  • OceanicBouquet ocean 🌊 (@OceanicBouquet) reported

    I hate getting passionate about game balance but I will say this as I've always said in the past. Overwatch's main issue is that Supports are objectively broken BUT from the support player perspective you don't get any feedback which FEELS BAD and is not a good gameplay loop.

  • OceanicBouquet ocean 🌊 (@OceanicBouquet) reported

    This led to Blizzard buffing their already OVERTUNED supports and subsequently making every support a disgusting jack of all trades dps, healing, tanking monster. What overwatch needs is more tank and support variety and to fix the support gameplay loop

  • AustySS MoN_Im_Austy (@AustySS) reported

    @Eskyja Happens man, that's Apex for me currently but in games like Overwatch, i am godly until i get demotivating feedback from a friend after a little error or take it the wrong way then i am washed for weeks. Honestly hope ya find a solution to always get out of that washed time asap.

  • WokeDudeBro NeurodivergentAndMinorBro (@WokeDudeBro) reported

    This is going to be Overwatch on drugs. Big launch, followed by a collapse, just instead of it happening over the course of two years, it will be six months. Fine for a lot of other studios and publishers, but a disaster for a live service game

  • Gem97091999 Gem (@Gem97091999) reported

    @Bparthun Sawnan is a fkng hard man. He did all that. What's the problem? He's built a new rifle, that's probably going to be purchased by a DOD blank check, or as an SF operators personal weapon. And providing overwatch for our young people, in harms way. DEVGRU guy. War junkies.

  • nataleafrost Nataleafrost #TeamSylvanas 💙 (@nataleafrost) reported

    Did everyone's overwatch beta just crash?

  • Crabe__ Crabe (@Crabe__) reported

    @DemonMamaReal The joke is “it’s just overwatch 1 but ___” except most of these changes fundamentally alter how the game plays and feels in someone’s hands. So yeah, it might look the same, but almost all the issues the game had are resolved by this MASSIVE “patch”
